Is it possible to put a "tag" (probably the wrong term) on individual record entries? So that on a shared database the administrator could see who entered what. That way if there is a problem the administrator would know who to speak to or who needs retraining/firing ha:)
Ive looked around and havent come up with anything.
Thanks
I am fairly new to access but so far I have been able to get what i need from it, until now. I am trying to find a way of comparing two sets of data to find out an employee's average productivty.
Table 1 -Hours Worked (by day)
- contains 'name' 'date' and '# of hours' worked
- an employee would enter the hours here on a daily basis
Table 2 - Contracts Keyed (by month)
- contains the number of contracts worked that is derived from seperate system
- this is entered on a monthly basis (so for example: John keyed 30 contracts for the month of January)
- the system i am pulling this info from does not have the ability to pull a daily count of contract per employee, only a range of dates and it then provides the sum for that range (unless I ran a query for each day, for each employee which would take me hours)
- employees dont have access to this system to enter their own # of contracts keyed on a daily basis.
- for entry, so far i have just been putting the first of the month and then the # of contracts.
In a nutshell, this is the calculation I am trying to create:
(Sum of "# of hours" for the month) / (total "# of contracts keyed" for the month) = employees average hourly productivity.
I have tried to do this with various types of queries and reports but with no luck, I get a prompt saying that access can't compare the 2 fields.
Is there a way to compare the data that is entered daily with the data i would enter monthly?
Hello
I'm currently doing a query, when a report is received, we enter a date, i would like a query which would show records where the received date has not been entered. i have tried putting in isnull() but does not work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Hi all,I'm working on a library database for a small collection.I have two fields, 'Date Out' and 'Date IN'. Is it possible that whatever date is written for the date taken out, I can set the 'Date IN' to be 7 days later than that date?Thanks in advance.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi folks,
I have this situation: a table with patients information and IDs, and a table with evaluations for those patients (identified by ID).
I am trying to make it so that the user can't add the same evaluation twice. I want to do it by checking if there is already an evaluation for that patient with the same date.
I know how to show evaluations only for a patient, but I don't know how to check if the value entered by the user in the date field is a duplicate (case in which he shouldn't be allowed to enter it). I assume this is done somehow through the "validation rule" property? But how should the expression be?
Thanks a lot!
Gurus,
I seriously need some help with the following.
What I need to do is when I enter the data in the form and before I go to the next record I want to save this row in the table and then insert two more rows with the same values (that I just entered and saved in the table) while incrementing the index field. I also want to programatically manipulate a field value in the second and third rows that I will insert before commiting.
For Example:
Tbl-A
Reg_Num Number (Index)
Name Text (30)
Reg_Type Text (1)
Category Text (10)
Sub_Category Text (10)
Short_Desc Text (10)
Long_Desc Text (50)
1st row:
10001, "PSUS", "A","CREDIT CARD", "FEE", "CCF", "CREDIT CARD FEE"
After I enter these values I click on "SAVE" button. When I click on save, I want to insert the same row twice (notice Reg_Num and Reg_Type values) in the table and increment Reg_Num and change the value of Reg_Type.
2nd row:
40001, "PSUS", "W","CREDIT CARD", "FEE", "CCF", "CREDIT CARD FEE"
3rd row:
60001, "PSUS", "X","CREDIT CARD", "FEE", "CCF", "CREDIT CARD FEE"
As you see, I am incrementing the index field value by 30,000 if Reg_Type is "W" and by 50,000 if the Reg_Type is "X". What it means is copy the row that I just entered, insert it in the table, change the Reg_Type value and increment Reg_Num based on the business rule. COMMIT. Do the same for the next row.
I have about 20 Fields in the table. I do not want the user to type 10 times the same values and make mistakes. This is just an example. I have about 8 different Reg_Types that needs to be stored in the table everytime a new Reg_Num is entered with Type "A". User can enter any Reg_Type but to make my life easier I'm restricting to start from Reg_Type "A". For each Reg_Type the Reg_Num needs to be computed because it is extreamly important in our application.
Hope I explained it right.
Thanks a million in advance.
PS
I would like to check to see if a previous date value has been entered for a specific record and display a message if it has. I have spent some time researching vlookup and vcount but im not quite there in what i want to achieve.
I have a data entry subform, linked to my main form through StairID. The subform is called tblEstateInspection and has a PK called estateinspectionID, stairID is a FK and links it main table.
Like i say i have been investigating what other people have done using dlookup / dcount, what i want to do is check that a specific date has not been entered for another inspection for the same stairID, i guess what i have got below at the moment just looksUp the value and because it is never null the messagebox always shows? How can i ammend it so that if it finds records that have same stairid, checks Inspectiondate field and only shows message if the new date matches old date
Private Sub InspectionDate_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim check As Variant
strFilter = Me!StairID
check = DLookup("[inspectiondate]", "tblEstateInspection", "[stairID] =" & strFilter)
If Not IsNull(check) Then
MsgBox "You have entered this exact date for this staircase before, be careful!", vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
Thanks
Hi All,
I've got a form with a series of combo boxes which are dependent on each other, however i keep finding that after ive entered some data and left a record, when i then return to the record, some of the information ive entered has been deleted and the combo box is blank.
I think it must be requerying the combo boxes everytime the record opens but i dont know why, i have only put requerys "OnChange" because that is the only time the dependent combo boxes should be requeried.
Once the info is entered and ive moved on to a new record, i need for it to stay that way when i return to the record and only change again when i edit it.
Help please anyone, its been doing my head in.
Cheers

I have a form that the user will enter data, when the user has finished entering the data, i want them to click on a button, with a yes or no option button on it.
if the user selects yes (approved)......i want the record to be emailed to a few peoples email address.
i was thinking that i could store the email address's in a table and email the record to whoever appears in the list.
if the user selects no (Amend Record)..... i want the set focus to go back to the first field of the last record for Amendment.
Can this be done easy enough ?
if so how please.
Cheers
Andy
I have a form with a number of entry fields and after a button is clicked I write to an MS Sql datatable. Everything works fine as long as I put a value in each field. If I do not put a value in one of the fields the sql does not run and the record is not added / updated in the database. I have tried checking the length of the data in the field using
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.Text)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.value) but nothing shows.
I am using Access 2007, 32 bit Windows 7
I have two four tables. Invent, trans, NewOrder and reorder tables. The new order table is not joined by a relationship unlike the others which are joined with the Invent ID field.
The new order table has the fields(ID,QTY,NAME,Order Date). I want to use this to order new items that are not in the Invent table. What do I do to check that I don't enter a new item name in the NAME field that is already present in the Invent table?
Hi, I have a simple form that requests to enter date using a textbox.
How can make the date textbox to display last entered data (in this case last entered date like 2006.05.05) after used pushes button "new record"?
Hi there
I have a small problem that I was wondering if someone could help with.
When a user creates a new record I would like it so that some html is written automatically in to a defined column.
Is this possible? I tried to use the default value property of a column but access does not like it.
Any ideas :confused:
Thanks :D

TIDMAN.....:confused:
I have look around in the forums, but I haven't found what I was looking for. I just maybe didn't use the correct search criteria. But anyway this is what I am looking for.
When a certain user Logon into the database. I would like the have a message sent just to that one particular user. Bottom line is. When a report is due and that user is responsible for it, I would like a notification go to that user.
Can this be done and how would one go about this?
Again thanks
HELP!!! I am getting quite desperate. I am a novice. I have made a database for customers, products, etc. They all have good relations. I have made a query where I can see who bought what and when and how much it costs. Now here's the problem. When my prices in my product list (this is the table of which the prices show up in my form) have to be altered (because of prices going up), it automaticaly changes the query and the form!! According to messages stated in this forum, I have opened the properties in the text boxes and changed the price fields, "enabled" to no, "locked" to yes, and the forms DataEntry to yes. Strangely in the North Wind example, the prices shown in the form (entry form), are extracted from the subformdetails table. But how can you extract something from a table if there is nothing in the table?? Totaly I have four tables (Orders, Orderdetails, Products and Customers) Alle these tables are joined on a one to many basis.
Please can somebody help me.....
Thank you

I have a field in a database that needs the data entered without any spaces and I'm trying to figure out how to set either the validation rules or the masks so that the system will either automatically delete any spaces or warn the user not to enter them.
My preference would be for them to automatically be deleted.
Any ideas, suggestions?
I can figure out how to make either all numbers or all letters, but the data is both so that doesn't work.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I have a form with several tabs on it, where the user enters various info.. I want to have the user hit the save button and have all info saved to a single table. Is there an easy way to do this. Please excuse my ignorance but I am fairly new to Access. Thanks in advance!

I've done some searching on this question and it seem everyone is pointing to the DateAdd function, so here is my current problem.
I have a date/time field called SponsorshipContractDate. When a contract is signed the date is entered. I need the system to calulate the renewal date for the contract which is alway 1 year ahead.
The DateAdd function works only if I hard code at date into it e.g.
DateAdd ("yyyy", 1, "01-Jan-08")
But as contracts are signed throughout the year this just doesn't work so I tried this:
DateAdd ("yyyy", 1, "SponsorshipContractDate") but the table won't save and this is abviously not right. In my head it makes sense but I don't understand how to get the formula to look at another field during it's calculations
Am I using the wrong function?
I will keep looking around.
Thanks heaps
Hi,
An Access database table I'm looking at has a date column, where date is entered in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). However, upon entering the database, the date is somehow converted into US format, despite me passing the date into the table as dd/mm/yyyy.
The trouble started when someone else worked on the database - leaving us now with all of the old records in UK format (correct) but all new entries to that column in US format.
Please note, when I open the Access table, all of the dates for the past 2 years or so are fine (dd/mm/yyyy) but recently, since someone else worked on the file, the new records are appearing as mm/dd/yyyy. Within the same table column we're getting apparently mixed formats.
I'm aware of using session.lcid=2057, but would prefer just to be able to have the dates appear in the right format in the database itself rather than having to use this (I'm concerned if I use lcid, it might balls up the older, correct records in the table).
How can this have suddenly changed, and more importantly, how can I get the records into the table in UK format?
Thanks very much for your help...
Here is my problem. We stage outages once 3 tickets have been recieved for the same problem type, but only if all three tickets are entered within 16.65 hours or 999 minutes. I.E. the third ticket is received within 999 minutes of the first ticket. How can I capture this based on the field time entered?
:confused:
Hello All,
I am creating a database that is supposed to capture the employee's type of work, time it takes to do the work, etc...
So far, it does what it's supposed to do but my record's are all over the place.
E.g. i have tables called:
tblDailyActivities - this table is supposed to store all record without sorting.
tblemployees - this table is supposed to have a list of employees and when maximized, all records associated to that particular employee should be listed.
However, the i have right now is that instead of listing it under the particular employee, it lists the employee's name individually for each item listed.
What i want is to for the tblemployees to be listed like tblfunctions.
see attached database since i probably am not making any sense right now.
Thank you,
John
I have a form with a text box that the user enters their name into. When they click submit a menu form is opened. I want the name that was entered to be carried over to a field on the menu form. This will welcome the user, eg: WELCOME John Smith.
Im thinking that i should use the INSERT INTO function, but im not sure of how to go about it.
My Combo Box works and displays new entries in text boxes in my form. The selection appears in every record. I would like the selection to be stored only in the displayed record and not for each and every record. Any ideas?
My combo box works on an existing query( Qry1). I would like the data from my query (Qry1) to be displayed in the record (in Form1) which I am viewing. When I go onto a new record (IN Form1) I would like to make a new selection from my query (Qry1) and then store these details in the new record in Form1.
I am a little frustrated - please help.
Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.
My Edit info form has several fields. The two of interest are:
Filestatus - text - open or closed
Dateclosed - date format
When the file is created, the filestatus field is set to "Open". What I would like to do is when a date is entered into the dateclosed field, automatically change the filestatus to "Closed".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
